Outline
The TCM controls engine output torque and reduces transaxle output shaft torque fluctuation during auto shifting, and reduces shock occurring from the vehicle during shifting.
Construction
Operation
During auto shifting, the TCM sends the torque reduction request signal using the CAN system and temporarily reduces the engine output torque by the engine ignition timing retard control. As a result, transaxle output shaft torque fluctuation is reduced during auto shifting by smooth engagement of the clutch.
In addition, the TCM receives the engine output torque from the PCM via the CAN signal to determine the clutch engagement pressure according to the engine output torque. As a result, the clutch hydraulic control setting accuracy is increased and smooth shift performance is achieved.
Barometric Pressure (Baro) Sensor Inspection
Voltage Inspection
NOTE:
Because the BARO sensor is integrated in the PCM, replacing the BARO sensor
includes replacement of the PCM.
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC?2.
2. Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
3. Verify that the BARO sensor output voltage (PID: BARO) is wi ...
PID/Data Monitor Inspection [Start Stop Unit]
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC?2.
2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization
screen of the M-MDS.
Select “DataLogger”.
Select “Modules”.
Select “SSU”.
3. Select the applicable PID from the PID table.
4. Veri ...
Door Lock Switch Removal/Installation
Driver's Side
NOTE:
The driver's side door lock switch cannot be removed as a single unit because
it is built into the power window main switch. If the driver's side door lock
switch is replaced, replace the power window main switch..
